Chapter 571 571 Long Live the Tank
Near the Donghe Bridge, the troops of the 2nd Paratrooper Battalion were watching from the sidelines inexplicably.They really don't know why the two Qi armies would fight with their own.

When these Qi troops finally figured out what was going on and realized that they had hit the wrong target, Tang Jun had already put the gun on their foreheads.

In the bridgehead where the battalion commander of Qi was located, the Qi army, which lacked automatic weapons and no grenades, quickly lost its outer positions, and even lost the first floor of the bridgehead.

Qi Jun, who was trapped on the second floor, still wanted to struggle, but their efforts were in vain with the explosion of a grenade.

The Qi soldiers who were blown upside down were smashed into a sieve by the rushing Tang army before they could reorganize their defense line.

Soon they lost the second layer, and then the third.

There was no way to hide, and the battalion commander of Qi State was very bachelor. He looked at his own people guarding at the foot of the stairs, and finally took off his hat with feathers.

"Stop fighting! We surrender! Don't shoot! As long as you promise not to kill us, we will surrender!" He shouted to the following.

Soon, Tang Jun's voice came up from below: "Hand in your guns and don't kill! Our battalion commander said, as long as you surrender! Your lives are guaranteed!"

Hearing what the other party said, the Qi battalion commander immediately agreed: "We surrender! Come up, everyone!"

After shouting, he ordered his subordinates: "Put down all your weapons! If you continue to fight, you will die, there is no need."

Those Qi soldiers hiding in the bridgehead heard what their officers said, so they put down their weapons very cooperatively.

They were already in a mess, and someone took the lead in surrendering at this time, which was in line with their hopes.

Almost no one objected, these Qi soldiers handed over their rifles one by one, and then threw away the bayonets around their waists, and walked down the stairs one by one.

Below the stairs, soldiers of the Tang army with submachine guns also avoided the danger of attacking the building.They had limited grenades, and they were worried that the bridgehead would be destroyed by grenades, so they were happy to see the Qi army surrender.

The Qi army chose to surrender. This time, the Tang army paratroopers did not choose to kill the killer, but let the Qi people who had surrendered their guns get out of their line of defense.

On the other side of the railway, the Qi army who had just killed their own people did not give in this time. They continued to fire, trying to prevent Tang Jun from crossing the railway.

It's a pity that the Maxim machine gun they deployed outside soon became silent. To these Qi people, Tang Jun's snipers were simply invisible demons, devouring everyone's life.

The soldiers of Qi State, who didn't know who was attacking them, didn't dare to go to control the Maxim heavy machine gun. They felt that there was a devil hovering beside the machine gun.

Without the support of that machine gun, the firepower of Qi's troops has obviously dropped a notch.Sporadic rifle shots were masked by the crisp sounds of dense typewriters, making them almost inaudible.

Originally, the Qi army had always outnumbered the Tang army on the battlefield. Sometimes the strength of the two sides even reached ten to one or even fifteen to one.

Even so, the Qi army often suffered losses and was suppressed by firepower.Now, Tang Jun has more than 400 soldiers in one of the three barracks, and they are fighting with less than 300 soldiers in the two companies of Qi State. Instead, Tang Jun has become the one with the superior number.

With the superiority of troops, the Tang army attacked fiercely, and lost seven or eight people in a desperate effort. They just rushed across the railway and rushed into the Qi army's position.

The battle turned into a one-sided massacre in an instant, and the Qi army retreated steadily, and some soldiers even began to retreat towards the railway bridge.

Tang Jun didn't give them a chance, and blocked them with firepower from the other side, blocking them back.Those who insisted on running fell on the bridge, and some corpses even lay directly on the railway tracks.

Seeing that there was no hope of escape, the rest of the Qi army also began to surrender. They dropped their weapons and waited for the arrival of the Tang army.

Sure enough, Tang Jun's firepower stopped, and the battle seemed to have ended so dramatically.More than 250 Qi soldiers from the two companies died. After more than 70 people died, the rest chose to surrender.

They are just the second-line troops of Qi State, and they don't have much combat effectiveness. There are still many new recruits in the battalion.

These people have not undergone strict military training, and they have only been equipped with new weapons for a few days. It seems a bit overthinking to expect them to fight against the elite Tang Army paratroopers.

Therefore, after suffering about one-third of the casualties, they naturally chose to surrender their weapons and abandon the bridge they had to guard.

In fact, they have tried their best, because before this battle broke out, no one could have guessed that the enemy would descend from the sky and raid an important facility in the hinterland.Don't say that you have personally experienced this kind of battle, you have never heard of it.

Under normal circumstances, isn't it common sense to place second-line troops on the second line?Even the most idiotic military commander would not think there is anything wrong with such an arrangement.

But after today, after this battle, when the second-line troops are on the second line, they have to think carefully about how to deal with such enemy paratroopers falling from the sky.

Just a few minutes after the battle here, the commander of the second battalion was still thinking about how to fight to the other side of the bridge and deal with the troops guarding the bridge from the state of Qi on the other side, when the troops of the first battalion arrived.

Although it looks a bit embarrassing, it also lost a lot of people.However, the news brought by the 1st Battalion cheered up each of them.

"We defeated the Qi army near the manor, and now we should be safe behind us for the time being." The commander of the 1st Battalion was exhausted from walking all the way, and sat in a position to rest.

He looked at a multi-company Qi State soldier who was being guarded on the other side, and said with some emotion: "Are you still taking prisoners here?"

"No way, they surrendered, the damage to the bridgehead is less, at least they can leave us some shelter." The commander of the 2nd Battalion pointed to the bridgehead and said: "We can't go to the bridge. If we want to hold here, We still need the bridgehead here as a position."

"Try it? We have at least 800 people together, so it should be no problem to fight over." The commander of the 1st Battalion looked at the bridge deck where there were still many corpses lying there, and said to the commander of the 2nd Battalion.

"The casualties will be huge, and at least 20 people will die if they touch it. This loss is too painful." The 2nd Battalion Commander said with a sigh.

"It doesn't matter, anyway, we have already killed the king of Qi and the prime minister of Qi, even if we lose another 20, it will not be a loss." The commander of the 1st Battalion smiled and said proudly.

"Really?" The commander of the 2nd Battalion was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly became pleasantly surprised: "Then our paratroopers will make a lot of money this time!"

"What do you call us paratroopers, is that our 1st Battalion?" The 1st Battalion Commander molested his old friend.

"Go away! You're not a paratrooper? You're not a paratrooper?" The commander of the 2nd Battalion really became angry: "If I hadn't been easy to talk and gave you the opportunity to kill the King of Qi, then we would be from the 2nd Battalion, you know?"

"You have such a big face." The 1st Battalion Commander had expected him to say that, smiled and punched the opponent, and looked at the other end of the bridge.

"Don't look, I'll let someone plant explosives. If the other party uses a train to break through, we'll blow up the bridge. If they use people to fill it, we'll let blood flow here!" The commander of the 2nd Battalion pointed at the bridge between the two bridgeheads. Said the paratrooper who buried the explosives.

"It's also a way." The 1st Battalion Commander thought for a while, and felt that the 2nd Battalion Commander's arrangement was fine.Just leave the bridgehead over there, they won't be able to get through anyway.

Although the opponent would occasionally fire two shots to scare people, there were snipers staring at them with sniper rifles with scopes. The shooters on the other side of the bridge died a few times and dared not show their faces.

In order for the follow-up troops to quickly use this railway bridge, the Tang army will use paratroopers to capture this strategic point.

Otherwise, it would be fine to drop a bomb directly, and it would not be worthwhile to take so many lives.The task of the paratroopers is to hold the bridge and wait for the follow-up troops to arrive.

But if, as a last resort, the main force of the Qi army arrives at the bridge before the follow-up reinforcements of the Tang army, then the paratroopers will have to consider bombing the bridge.

At the same moment, on the turret of a No. 4 tank, the vanguard of Tang's 4th Armored Division, the standing commander put down the binoculars in his hand.

He had already seen the majestic city walls of King Qi's City, and at the same time saw the industrial area of ​​King Qi's City still emitting thick smoke.

There are hundreds of towering chimneys, some of which are also emitting thick smoke: many factories are still working, and they are still working hard to support the normal operation of Qi's war machine.

"They really are some ruthless guys!" He drilled back into his tank turret, only half of his body was exposed: "Forward! Tonight, let General Redman spend the night in King Qi's city!"

"Isn't the 1st Battalion faster than us? We still have time to go to Wangcheng?" The gunner picked his nose and said in the shaking tank.

"Hahahaha! Because they rushed too fast, they were transferred to the right wing to support those desperate lunatics." The driver said proudly: "Don't worry, this time, our battalion is the first to enter the king's city. No one can take it away!"

"Long live Datang!" On the radio, the commanders of other tanks shouted excitedly.Soon, more car captains shouted, "Long live Your Majesty!"

"Long live the tank!" Unknowingly, someone suddenly shouted: "Long live the tank soldier!"

In the jungle, No. 4 tanks rushed out one after another, and behind these tanks, there were self-propelled artillery modified from No. 2 tanks.

"Hahaha!" Many commanders laughed, and more people cheered together: "Long live the tank! Long live the tank soldier!"

These tanks broke branches, ran over bushes, and rushed towards the city shrouded in smoke and dust in the distance with mottled bullet marks and blood stains that could not be wiped clean.
